Hockey: Miami’s Tomassoni won’t play tonight
By Pete Conrad
Miami sophomore defenseman Matt Tomassoni, who was named as the Central Collegiate Hockey Association Defensive Player of the Week, was announced as a scratch from the lineup of eligible players for the RedHawks’ home match tonight against Michigan State.
A Miami spokesperson said it was a “coach’s decision.”
Tomassoni scored two goals last week at New Hampshire, one during last Friday’s 6-3 victory and one during last Saturday’s 5-5 tie in double-overtime. They were the first two goals of his collegiate career.
New Hampshire erupted for five goals during the second period of Saturday’s contest and Tomassoni said earlier this week that one of the goals was a result of “a pretty undisciplined penalty” he committed, “contact to the head, roughing, which we paid for. A very dumb penalty on my part.”

Miami’s Lawson will get a chance to run
By Pete Conrad
True freshman Roman Lawson is returning to the Miami RedHawks’ rotation at tailback.
“He’s going to play again,” Miami coach Michael Haywood said. “He played last week on special teams and he’s going to play again this week … He’s going to play at tailback.”
Lawson will be either the first or second tailback in Saturday’s home game against Northern Illinois. Senior Andre Bratton hasn’t practiced all week (he has a turf toe injury) and won’t play against the Huskies.
Lawson was impressive in his last appearance at tailback, when he ran for 43 yards on seven carries at Western Michigan. Although Lawson played mostly against WMU’s second string, it has surprised some that Lawson had not carried the ball against Kent State, Cincinnati, Northwestern or Ohio.
The RedHawks ran the ball well against Kent State and Northwestern, but struggled in the other two games, rushing for only 30 yards against Cincinnati and 52 yards at Ohio.
Bratton, who has been in and out of the lineup all season, will be missed. His 4.3-yard average per carry is by far the best among Miami runners who have touched the ball at least 10 times.
“He runs with his eyes,” Haywood said of Bratton. “(Other running backs) don’t understand the process of running with your eyes and having your body follow.”
